Consulate & Embassy Guidelines

CONSULATE GUIDELINES

Purpose

Consulates are public threads intended for use by regions friendly with the South Pacific, but who do not meet the requirements for an embassy forum. Common uses of consulates are to provide monthly updates on what is happening in your region and to announce special events, but what you do with your consulate is really up to you!

Qualifications

There are a few qualifications a region must meet to be granted a consulate. First, your region must have some form of government, preferably “off-site” (e.g. a forum, like the one we have here). Second, your region must have a steady population of at least 20 World Assembly nations. This ensures that we aren't constructing consulates for inactive regions. Third, your region must not have an egregious theme or purpose, e.g. Nazism, fascism, racism, or any other morally questionable or repugnant theme as determined by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. That's it!

Continuing Requirements

We do require that consulates be posted in at least once per month. This is a general measure of activity. However, your region should strive to stay in line with the above qualifications. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will conduct period checks, and consulates not meeting the above qualifications are subject to review and dissolution.



EMBASSY GUIDELINES

Purpose

Embassies are dedicated public subforums for use by regions that have signed a treaty with the South Pacific or are of strategic political and military importance, which includes being a member of the Partnership for Sovereignty. Embassies serve as a common meeting place for the foreign affairs teams of the South Pacific and our partners and allies.

Qualifications

To receive an embassy, your region must have signed a treaty with the South Pacific requiring an embassy or have been invited to open embassies by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. All feeder and sinker regions automatically qualify for an embassy. There are no size requirements for embassies.

Continuing Requirements

There are no activity requirements for embassies, but we really encourage our partners and allies to keep in regular contact when they're able to do so. Embassies may be closed at any time, by order of the Cabinet or the Assembly, as part of diplomatic sanctions or declarations of war.
